66. Being a bi-racial military brat born in Germany,
I was a target from an early age. But my Dad put a stop to it. In fourth grade, he enrolled me in taekwondo instruction and my life changed quickly. My sis took lessons also. I was a black belt by 8th grade and was never in a school fight since starting karate. I give credit to martial arts for much of my self confidence.
Whether you want to admit it or not, the world is not always a friendly place. I would encourage every parent to provide their kids with defensive training. We teach our kids math to survive. We also need to teach them to survive.
